Understanding 9/11
An episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is interrupted by a remixed critique of the show’s gender imbalance and “boys’ locker room” comedy stylings. The remix takeover was created using clips borrowed from over 100 episodes of The Daily Show combined with the song “Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor” by Flight of the Conchords in order to subvert both media sources.
The serious lack of women in on-screen or leading creative roles on The Daily Show and other late-night comedy shows has been well documented and discussed in recent years. But here’s a quick recap: Only 3 of the 12 regular correspondences/contributors on The Daily Show are women. Only 2 of the 16 writers are women. And so far barely 15% of the guests in 2011 have been women.
Inspiration:
This remix was inspired by the practice of fan vidding and specifically by the vid Star Trek Dance Floor created by Sloane. She used the same song to point out the lack of female characters in J.J. Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek reboot. In 2010 Feminist Frequency video blogger mashed-up the same song in order to highlight the violent phallic imagery in modern video games.
